Health and safety

Bankia promotes a work environment that ensures the safety and health of its employees by applying a consistent and coordinated policy for the prevention of occupational risks.

The efforts made in recent years to execute the plan to update the Occupational Risk Assessment of all the work centres in the branch network and integrate it into the computerised occupational risk prevention management tool were completed in 2017.

Notable projects and activities carried out to improve occupational health communication have included: the Empresa Saludable section of the Somos Bankia in-house magazine; the updating of the website in the corporate intranet and the AHA! programme, which provides information on healthy eating, lifestyle and exercise.

During the year, Bankia also took part in various healthy company conferences, furthering its goal of integrating psychosocial improvement actions into its People strategy.
